MTN did not do this for me either. It simply shut down the Internet connection (e. g. redirected to their captive portal) when the bundle was depleted. Granted, I never had a bundle *expire* on me, but I can't imagine why this would be handed differently in their code, unless their developers really went out of their way to induce such a bug deliberately, which I doubt.

I also usually get 90% and 100% usage SMS alerts, but they are useless alerts. You are not allowed to subscribe to another bundle before the existing one is done or expires.

Smile Telecom has a cool feature where you can allow out of bundle usage. Effectively that means once your data is done your airtime wont be 'raped'. The mainstream telecos know they make more money when you don't use services over IP. As such they smile when your data plan switches to precious airtime. Damn them!

Re: [LUG] [TechPost] Airtel Vs Orange Uganda Data Service Deathmatch - TechPost
Smile is extremely fast but their pricing still doesn't make sense. They offer the same size bundles as Orange (and others) at approximately the same price, yet their service is capable of consuming them 50x as fast. They have an unlimited plan but are apparently unable to cap the speed so the cost is like 3m/mo or something ridiculous.

Kyle, Can we analyze this whole rob me blind thing? YOU are using YOUR airtime as YOUR DATA to surf the interwebs.

The ISP, in this case Orange, should warn its customers that they are being automatically switched to a 1000x billing rate. To not do so is arguably unethical. On Jul 19, 2013 11:43 AM, James S. K.

Re: [LUG] [TechPost] Airtel Vs Orange Uganda Data Service Deathmatch - TechPost
James, be fair now. Most prominent ISPs in other countries give due warnings when a bundle is running out; in fact, it is a requirement in the EU. Is it really that crazy to want the Ugandan ISPs to aspire to international standards? Now, to give the L in LUG a chance: iptables has a quota module. You could easily make your Linux computer cut the Internet connection when a set amount of traffic has travelled through the interface. Now, when I lived in Uganda and had MTN I made a small shell script which automatically went online to MTNs web page and told me the amount of data traffic I had left. If you take such a script, make it construct an iptables rule based on the figure it receives, and put this script in /etc/network/if-up.d, it would automatically run and set the appropriate limit whenever you went online.

Re: [LUG] [TechPost] Airtel Vs Orange Uganda Data Service Deathmatch - TechPost
I do the same thing with my phone. But you must remember to reset iptables when you load new airtime! Orange ALWAYS sends me my sms in time but that is because I REALLY got in their hair about it. We need a Linux lab to see all the “best practices” in action.

Most prominent ISPs in other countries give due warnings when a bundle is running out; in fact, it is a requirement in the EU. Is it really that crazy to want the Ugandan ISPs to aspire to international standards? Now, to give the L in LUG a chance: iptables has a quota module. You could easily make your Linux computer cut the Internet connection when a set amount of traffic has travelled through the interface. Now, when I lived in Uganda and had MTN I made a small shell script which automatically went online to MTNs web page and told me the amount of data traffic I had left. If you take such a script, make it construct an iptables rule based on the figure it receives, and put this script in /etc/network/if-up.d, it would automatically run and set the appropriate limit whenever you went online.

Re: [LUG] [TechPost] Airtel Vs Orange Uganda Data Service Deathmatch - TechPost
To protect my airtime from robbery, I load only enough for the bundles that I need, have it deducted immediately so that when the bundle runs out, there's no airtime to loose. For example 20,000 for monthly Pakalast covers calls to Airtel and Warid, 5,000 SMS bundle, 40/= per SMS to all networks, then Data bundle as the need arises. So I can call most people, SMS all and browse with 0 balance. I then keep unscratched airtime cards on me for when any of the bundles runs out. For calls to networks outside the marriage, I load airtime on the MTN number which has no subscriptions to any services so I'll find it still on phone even if I don't make any calls for days. In short, keeping unused airtime in your wallet is safer than loading it.

Wow! But Joshua, you shouldn't need to do all that! That's the point - the networks should provide an option so that your number can ONLY use data when there's an active bundle. Shouldn't be too hard to do. Personally, I use a free app to monitor my usage, so I get a clear warning when my bundle is about to expire. But, to make matters worse, Airtel doesn't allow me to top-up my bundle, so I can't (like I do on Internet Everywhere), add data before my current bundle expires.

Re: [LUG] [TechPost] Airtel Vs Orange Uganda Data Service Deathmatch - TechPost
Peter, Yes it shouldn't be too difficult for the network engineers to implement that. And I started advocating for it when the first 3G networks rolled out, but it seems like they benefit from the way things are now and aren't in a hurry to plug such sources of revenue. Many loopholes that allow users to browse for free or get more data than they've paid for quickly get fixed. I'm sure they could also fix that, but its not to their benefit. So I take it upon myself to protect my interests. Joshua Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 On Jul 19, 2013 3:14 PM, Peter C. Ndikuwera pnd...@gmail.com wrote: Wow!

Re: [LUG] [TechPost] Airtel Vs Orange Uganda Data Service Deathmatch - TechPost
Sometime back we tried to bring the issue to the attention of AIRTEL via Twitter but they kept saying that they will work on it(This was about 2 years ago), We tried again this year to raise the issue but still there was no response. I don't know whether it's just very difficult or the telecoms are have other intentions.
